Just curious if anyone has contacted the curated partners that Kickstarter lists at the bottom of their homepage?

If you have been featured by one of their curated partners or listed as a "pick" did it help your campaign?

This is a good question Sal, I didn't know there was this option. Would you self nominate? Do all Kickstarter projects get seen by a staff member?

I would consider reaching out to the curator organization. Why not? There isn't really a downside to asking them to consider featuring you on their page.

You can email stories@kickstarter.com to share the story behind your project with the Kickstarter team. I've seen people get "staff pick" as a result of emailing them.

sbriggman, thanks for the suggestion! Once we're up and running we'll make sure to email them
